Atheist Quote by David G. McAfee

“Regardless of your religious beliefs, you should never tell a mourning mother that it was "God's plan." For some people, that can be worse than saying nothing at all. For a non-believer, the words that are meant to console a religious person can do quite the opposite.” quote by David G. McAfee — Download Open image
